i appreciate those things about japan, but at the same time, that society is breaking down under stress, overpopulation, and unholy work ethic. they smoke like chimneys and their younger generations are increasingly not buying the whole deal. having said that, the japanese do an amazing job integrating festivals, rituals and love of nature in to high tech society- probably better than anyone else in the world. bottom line i guess is that they're both a troubled and wonderful people- that's not so unique, of course, but the overall portrait is.
